Scott Wlaschin demystifies functional programming concepts like monads, monoids, and functors, showing how they form a practical toolkit.
The functional programming community has a number of patterns with strange names such as monads, monoids, functors, and catamorphisms. In this beginner-friendly talk, we'll demystify these techniques and see how they all fit together into a small but versatile "tool kit". We'll then see how the tools in this tool kit can be applied to a wide variety of programming problems, such as handling missing data, working with lists, and implementing the functional equivalent of dependency injection. NDC Conferences ndcconferences.com/ ndc-london.com/What people say. Highly recommended as one of the best and clearest beginner-friendly introductions to functional programming concepts.
